Workflow

OTE is designed to facilitate a set of typical actions or tasks that an OE developer would do.

Install OpenEmbedded

1. To install a new copy of OpenEmbedded, select the wizard from the File -> New... -> Other... menu.

2. Next, select the flavor of OpenEmbedded you wish to install.

3. Now specify configuration parameters. If fields are unfamiliar, leave the defaults and proceed.

4. Assuming all the necessary system tools are available, the wizard will download sources and configure your new OpenEmbedded install.

5. Now by clicking finish, an Eclipse project will be created. It may take a few moments for Eclipse to index all the files in the project. Your workbench should look something like this:

When the wizard completes (this may take some time) you will find a new project in your workspace that contains your new OpenEmbedded install. You can browse the files as any other Eclipse project.
